Star Dogs and Sun Gods (Updated)

Note: Dang! My apologies to Skaggsie and whoever else may have tried to comment- there was a scheduling glitch (meaning, I'm an idiot) and a post went up that was supposed to go up tomorrow. I wanted to wrap up a couple loose ends with the Carpenters/UFO issue before I launched into what will be a pretty heavy week of posts. So anyone online earlier got a nice sneak peek at the next installment of the Stairway to Sirius series, which will be up at midnight (Tuesday the 2nd).

Man, they're continuing to work the Obama/Dogstar link. Of course, you have the usual manufactured controversy to ensure everyone pays attention. This cover was done by the same artist who did the Obama as mujahadeen (and Michelle as Angela Davis) New Yorker cover. Of course, the implications behind this cover are all the more profound, aren't they?

Speaking of profound implications, Burger King has hopped on the rising sun bandwagon, and are now decorating their food packaging with this enigmatic symbol. Here's a bit of background detailing how many major corporations have recently altered their logos to include the rising sun. A symbol of the coming Global Economic Singularity or something even more profound? Stay tuned.

Maybe we can ask these people, a well-funded online "psychic" operation advertising on Yahoo! and other major sites.

Or maybe this old music video- the Carpenters singing "Top of the World, looking down on Creation" can enlighten us. The 70s- great music, dreadful production values.

Speaking of world domination, I found it fascinating that E! chose our friend Crypto-Mithras for an establishing shot of Masonic Manhattan.

Here's an interesting logo- this is the bank whose ad sported the Paul Williams jingle "We've Only Just Begun" that rocketed the Carpenters to overnight superstardom. An apt metaphor, since Paul Williams' brother John was a NASA rocket scientist. I wonder if he knew Jack Parsons? Paul Williams also did a lot of acting, including a guest spot on what sounds like a truly stupifyingly heinous episode of Star Trek: Voyager.

Since we're nearing the Solstice- the time of the Sun's resurrection- let us be thankful for this wonderful story. A three year-old girl who spent 17 days on a respirator after surviving a hundred-foot fall in a department store. Little Evie Parry looks resplendent in her appropriately Osirian green sweater, decorated with the five-pointed star of Sirius. Someone up there must like this adorable toddler. Evie comes from the Hebrew Eve, meaning to breathe, or to live. Again, very appropriate.

The logo from that bank with the carpenters ad looks a lot like the aperture science logo, from the hit video game portal. Which of course revolves around portals/stargates and made everyone love a cube ;)

The BK face lift- if there was ever any doubt what the "bun" represented on their sigil I guess we can file that one under "case solved". Sun is really only one letter away from bun anyway. Now, what the hell is that blue swish?

Crocker Bank- is that the Rothschild symbol I see?

And finally the psychic ad- notice how the sun highlights the "e" or double "ee". If you ask me she looks horrified. You'll be blown away? That's downright creepy especially given her odd body posture. Bonus points for the Masonic striped shirt.

Speaking of corporate symbols Old Navy changed their logo to ON (in case it wasn't obvious enough already). Then if you order online you're redirected to a company called Piperlime that sports a nifty green sun logo meant to appear to be a cross section of a lime. The Piper part of the name begins to make more sense when we remember the DC Comics character the Pied Piper.http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/pied%20piper.jpg

If he is the sun and we are the moon, then we are a reflection of him. He and we are one. Goes with Alex Grey's hope/suggestion that we use the image to empower him to greatness. Our energy, our blood becomes his.

He is the perfect Black Sun, the perfect Anti-Kristos. His presence completes the cycle.

Chris-thanks again for your continuing work along these lines!I was always meaning to compliment you for a series you did-I think it has been some time ago now about the fellow who drowned in Memphis-Buckley-Cocteau Twins-I think-it relates in a way to resarch I am doing-although not research in modern times. I also had always meant to thank you for the Boards of Canada video-awhile back too-I have come to love them and found them through your site!That video is truly beautiful.Peace and be well!-Devin

sorry to leave another comment so soon, Chris-point taken about Near the Parenthesis-I am not mp3d and only have a small boom box to listen to music to-so i often find myself going to you tube to listen to vids! I will defintely look into Parenthesis-I just wanted to ask what yours and maybe other peoples response was to 'Orectine'-I believe it was called-might be a spelling mistake-for some reason that struck as deep a chord in me as Over the horizon did.Thanks again for your work here!-Devin I would be lost-especially as to my jump starting my own creative thinking without the syncchro-blogs I link to!

Call them the Shemsu Sun!

Knowles' Laws

Whenever a controversy over symbolism erupts in the media, it's usually disguising another hidden symbolic message altogether.

The probability that a UFO story is a deliberate hoax or intentional misidentification is correlative to the amount of mainstream media coverage it receives.

The more convoluted or abstract the motive or the objective in a conspiracy theory is, the less likely that theory is to be true.

Those who can, do; Those who can't, troll.
